Eli Stowers is a Philadelphia Eagle

1920x1080-1
Eli had a huge impact in our locker. To choose to return for the 2025 season and have a Mackey Award to finish his college career, what an incredible story of overcoming adversity and finding himself through the game. I’m really proud to have had him here at Vanderbilt, honored to have coached him, proud that he has worn our uniform, and excited for him to take Vanderbilt football into an NFL career. I’m really excited for him, but also very grateful to have had him in our program. – Coach Lea
